It will hurt turnout among Republicans as well. Not as much as among Dems but they aren't immune from it, especially if they already feel like they're going to lose.

Well it makes sense that if a person already believes that their vote doesn't matter that they're more likely to find a reason to just avoid voting in the first place.

NJ, so it barely matters anyway. Still, you'd think there'd be more than a single person there with the current political climate.

A candidate being up double digits will discourage people from both sides to get off their rear end and go vote.

FFS I remember months ago during the height of the statue removal debate there were polls showing that a majority of Americans did NOT support removing them. Out of everyone.

This is one inexact exit poll taken god knows where in Virginia where white democrats are assholes.

I feel like the takeaway from the Northam campaign ought to be "don't let Republican attacks get under your skin so much that you say stupid poo poo a week out." He should've walked into today's election with a ten point lead.

A Dem is not going to win Virginia by 10 points right now no matter how awesome they are. Maybe in 6 years.

Too Close to Call = Polls are really close, we have no idea
Too Early to Call = Polls had a clear winner, we just need to confirm with results that they're right.

Basically if a race is too early to call it most likely means the results matched the polling.

I'm gonna hold off on that assumption for a bit to be honest. They could be just mixing up the terms if they even know there is a difference.

The votes in Chesterfield County, Virginia, appear to be just about complete. Gillespie is ahead by 1 point there. Trump beat Clinton by 2 points there last year. This is just one location, but suggesting a slight D shift from last year.

Gillespie needed to win by 7-10 there. :stare:
